My computer has been acting weird lately. It's been only about 4-5 days since I fully formatted my disk and it was at least usable at first. But there was some errors constantly showing up in the event log (TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts). Also the ip protection of Malwarebytes turns itself back on/off on reboot. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and other times it won't work at all.

Please note that I choosed 'Take no action' for subsequent failures option in BITS service properties (in it's recovery tab) because my startup items load forever and scvhost consumes 100% usage. I also uninstall Malwarebytes. And both were done even before I started this thread.

Btw there's no files in _OTL\MovedFiles\11122013_215858. I don't remember I delete anything there though.

Computer has become completely unstable after the completion of CHKDSK. Cpu usage gets stuck over the 90% mark while processing the avastsvc.exe and won't go down. I had to force restart into Safe Mode, disable few non-trivial services including Avast and Flash / Nvidia / Java update services, unless I won't be able to logon to normal mode.

I had to slipstream SP3 into my installation disk, that's the reason for my delay in replying. SFC completed but that didn't make any difference at all. Btw how do I confirm if my hard drive is dying? I ran a utility from the disk manufacturer but it says the drive is OK.
